The eye is a complex piece of anatomy capable of determining everything from broad shapes to precise details. Among the many tasks the eye is able to perform, one of the eye’s key tasks is to aid in the determination of the many variations of color.

Sunsets are red and so are tomatoes, yet these two reds are quite different. The word "red" by itself doesn't carry enough information to uniquely identify a particular sensation of color.

As a human, one of the first things that newborn babies experience when they get through a mother’s womb is facing the light.

Different wavelengths of light (electromagnetic waves) create different sensations of color. For example, objects that reflect wavelengths of light in the range of 620 to 750 nanometers (roughly 200 time smaller than the width of a human hair) appear red/orange to us.

I am always amazed at the fact that things we see in color are actually a
sensation "felt." They are a sensory impression that is a physiological
reaction to the wavelengths of light received by the color receptors in
our retina.

To see how white balancing algorithms work in a computer (or digital camera) it's important to know what we mean by "white." First of all, "white" is relative. Something that looks white will look gray when compared to a brighter "white."
